❤️ Your relationship after a baby: dodging the ‘baby clash’
Shared care, rest and respectful communication help relationships after birth.
Make time for each other and call in backup
1. What to prepare
Agree practical tasks and protect each person’s rest. Discuss needs without assuming the birth parent manages all care.
2. What to check
Seek relationship or mental-health support early. Coercion, threats or violence are safety issues, not a normal baby-related disagreement.
